When meeting oncoming traffic at night on the road, you should switch from high beam to low beam when the distance to the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters. Here are the relevant details: 1. On roads without central barriers or center lines, you should switch to low beam when the distance to the oncoming vehicle is more than 150 meters at night. When meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow roads or narrow bridges, you should use low beam. 2. When encountering oncoming traffic at night, you should switch from high beam to low beam as early as possible. 3. On roads with obstacles, the vehicle on the unobstructed side has the right of way. If the vehicle on the obstructed side has already entered the obstructed section while the vehicle on the unobstructed side has not, the vehicle on the obstructed side has the right of way.

How Many Days Does It Usually Take to Receive a Traffic Violation Notification?

According to Article 20 of the "Procedures for Handling Road Traffic Safety Violations" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 105): Within three days after the violation information recorded by traffic monitoring equipment is entered into the road traffic violation information management system, the traffic management department of the public security organ shall make it available for public inquiry; and may notify the owner or manager of the motor vehicle by mail, text message, email, etc. The following are specific explanations about traffic violations: 1. Definition: A traffic violation refers to the behavior of a motor vehicle violating the Road Traffic Safety Law and traffic management regulations. 2. Consequences: Penalties for traffic violations include warnings, fines (vehicle seizure), temporary suspension of the driver's license, revocation of the driver's license, cancellation of the driver's license, administrative detention, and criminal liability for those who constitute a crime. 3. Inquiry Methods: Inquire at the office halls of traffic branches and teams in various districts and counties through touch query terminals; call the voice inquiry hotline; or send a text message to inquire about violations.

What are the pros and cons of TPE car mats?

Regarding the pros and cons of TPE car mats: 1. Disadvantages: 1. The most significant drawback of TPE car mats is their high price: Due to the high material cost, they are more expensive than mats made of other materials. 2. TPE car mats are not dirt-resistant: Especially on rainy days, if shoes are covered in mud and water, stepping on the mats a few times will make them completely dirty. 2. Advantages: 1. TPE car mats are easy to clean: Simply take them out and rinse them with water. 2. TPE car mats have a high aesthetic appeal: Because they adopt a one-piece design, they fit very well in the car. Since TPE mats have special buckles on the back for fixation, it is almost impossible for them to shift. However, different car models require different molds, so it can be difficult to purchase suitable TPE mats for some car models. 3. Long service life: Due to the characteristics of the material, TPE car mats are very wear-resistant and have a long service life.

What is the normal range for fuel trim data?

Fuel trim data should normally fall within the range of -25% to +25%. Below are relevant details: 1. Key indicator: The vehicle's fuel trim value is a crucial parameter for ensuring power performance and fuel efficiency. The ECU receives signals from the intake airflow sensor, air-fuel ratio sensor, and oxygen sensor, then adjusts fuel supply based on current load conditions. Short-term fuel trim values constantly fluctuate with load changes, while long-term fuel trim generally remains inactive. It only intervenes during high-power operations, throttle opening exceeding limits, gear shifts, or sudden load changes. If the long-term fuel trim value keeps changing and the variation magnitude increases progressively, it indicates potential vehicle malfunction. It's recommended to first inspect the catalytic converter. 2. Below 0%: If significantly below 0% (a negative value), it indicates an overly rich system condition, requiring fuel reduction (decreasing injector pulse width). If notably above 0% (a positive value), it suggests a lean condition, prompting the PCM to increase fuel quantity (increasing injector pulse width) for compensation.

How to Switch Between Gasoline and Electric Modes in a Hybrid Vehicle?

The switching between gasoline and electric modes is automatically controlled by the computer, with the engine automatically engaging when reaching a certain speed. It can also be manually controlled using a button to switch between hybrid and pure electric modes. Below are the advantages of hybrid vehicles: 1. Like gasoline vehicles, they can be refueled at gas stations without changing driving habits; governments and businesses promoting such products do not need to invest in new charging stations or refueling infrastructure. 2. High fuel efficiency and superior driving performance. Hybrid vehicles use gasoline engines, but with the assistance of electric motors during startup and acceleration, fuel consumption can be reduced. The internal combustion engine can be shut down, allowing the battery to drive alone, achieving 'zero' emissions. 3. The power performance is superior to that of pure internal combustion engine vehicles of the same displacement, especially during startup and acceleration, where the electric motor effectively compensates for the low-speed torque deficiency of the internal combustion engine. 4. Reduced mechanical noise inside the vehicle; the electric motor operates during low speeds or idling.

How Many Mid-size Sedans Does Geely Have?

Currently, Geely has two mid-size sedans on sale: Borui and Borui New Energy. Below are the introductions of these two mid-size sedans from Geely: 1. Borui: The Borui is a mid-size sedan under Geely. Setting aside brand factors, this car is definitely not inferior to mainstream joint-venture competitors. The Borui features a grand exterior, generous configurations, excellent performance, and most importantly, an affordable price, earning recognition from many industry professionals. This model can undoubtedly make joint-venture competitors take Chinese automotive brands seriously. It can be said that the Borui is a source of pride for the Chinese people. 2. Borui New Energy: As a family-oriented model, ensuring that passengers travel comfortably from point A to point B is what the Borui ePro aims to achieve. The Borui ePro adopts a front double-wishbone and rear multi-link suspension combination, with suspension tuning leaning towards comfort. It effectively filters out minor vibrations and absorbs most of the impact during larger bumps, aligning with the setup of a family car. Additionally, the Borui ePro, with its attractive design, strong performance combined with low fuel consumption, and spacious interior, makes it an excellent companion for pragmatic 'working-class' individuals.

Can Motorcycles Use Full Synthetic Car Engine Oil?

Scooters can not only use full synthetic car engine oil but also semi-synthetic oil. This has nothing to do with the engine—any engine that requires oil can use it. However, it is best not to use it for cross motorcycles. Although using it on cross motorcycles won't cause any problems for the engine, it may lead to clutch issues, such as slipping. The advantages of full synthetic engine oil are as follows: 1. Excellent low-temperature fluidity: Full synthetic oil has low viscosity and a high viscosity index, which helps save energy during cold starts, accelerates oil film formation, reduces dry wear on engine components during cold starts, and extends engine life. 2. Outstanding high-temperature oxidation resistance: Synthetic oil's thermal oxidation stability is superior to mineral oil, ensuring performance stability over long-term use, which is one reason why synthetic oil has a longer maintenance interval. 3. Low evaporation loss: Synthetic oil has much lower evaporation loss than mineral oil, improving fuel economy, reducing exhaust emissions, and extending the lifespan of catalytic converters. 4. Superior cleaning performance: Full synthetic oil contains higher TBN content, effectively neutralizing acidic substances produced by oil oxidation, preventing particle deposits, cleaning pistons and cylinders, avoiding deposit formation, and thus maintaining engine cleanliness and extending engine life.
